title: [People with dementia between home and respite care: quality assurance for cross-over communication, a systematic review].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  To identify safety-relevant communication structures and processes considering the handover between home and respite care for people with dementia (PwD).
  
  
  METHODS
  In a systematic review, MEDLINE, -EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO and GeroLit were searched for publications indexed until April 2011 including a search via Google and Google scholar. An update for publications indexed between May 2011 and December 2012 was added.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 1 832 search results were identified and one relevant publication of a project for PwD to improve the handover between settings was included. With regard to that project, additional literature was identified.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The practice-based project identified through the literature search could be suitable to improve handover communication between home and respite care for PwD after further validation. A large gap in the evidence with regard to the research question was identified.
